The real surprise isn't how many seats Demagogue Danny won, but how few. I'm quite frankly stunned that you could win 70% of the vote but not win all the seats. Walter Lea and Frank McKenna had 10-12% less than that, and PEI has had three near misses (1-2 seats) with vote totals in the mid-50s.

"And in a much needed show of strength, he will drive his enemies before him, like leaves before a storm. He will make whores of our wives and slaves of our children. He will appoint a horse to the Senate. And he will have the oceans whipped for daring to turn their tides without his lead."-Stephen Colbert

Danny may or may not be a demagogue, but he's a sharp politician. Congratulations on his victory, though I'm a little dismayed by the one-sidedness of it. Such huge majorities are rarely that good for democracies, as it usually takes a decent-sized opposition to keep a government on its toes.

Give Danny Williams his due. In politics, you’ve got to talk rubbish some of the time. Danny Williams has managed to establish a rapport with his province. That’s something that dion (The Logical) can’t do.

Of course, merely talking rubbish won’t get you far. Harper is an example. Danny Williams walks the talk, while harper walks a crooked path.
